There's nothing Neil McCauley about this dude. And there's definitely nothing De Niro about him. In a perfect world, this would have DiCaprio and Bale going up against each other. That's literally the only modern day option in terms of career iconography compared to De Niro/Pacino in '95.

So Driver: Young McCauley Butler: Chris Isaac: Young Hanna Pacino: Old Hanna Like I said before - of all the projects by 80 year old dudes that make fanboys cream their jeans - besides Scorsese - Gladiator 2, Megalopolis, Heat 2 - only Heat has a "screenplay" you can refer to and apparently is great-ish (the novel) at least as a starting point........ and only Heat 2 has a director who understands the mileau of the project as well and as metculously as Mann does (3 films now, and a novel) ............. .and there's apparently a great lead villain role still to cast (!) .......... and De Armas in a role she apparently fits from the book........so the casting in the aggregate makes some sense........ on some level ........ That's a lot of "ands"Isaac I think is just a rumor (?) and if anybody sounds "iffy" in that cast above ^ it's the 83 year old guy revisiting a role he played when he was 55 ffs........but he's the GOAT ...........who Mann loves .........so I'm assuming Mann will use Pacino wisely and not embarrassingly........

That's literally the only modern day option in terms of career iconography compared to De Niro/Pacino in '95. It doesn't have to be a typical sequel. After all, it comes out 30 years later. Adam Driver portraying De Niro's character would feel fresh now and with this casting, the movie would appear more like a reboot, than a direct follow up. I am all for it, as long as Mann knows what he's filming, which I suspect he does.

Is the prequel shooting this year? Some footage has come out of Austin Butler doing weapons training, and apparently he may have dropped out of the Ari Aster project. Butler has been rumoured to play the Val Kilmer role in this, and this type of weapons training certainly seems like it could be for Chris Shiherlis.
